Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Hatcher is fighting the Jamaicans in the department store, he twists a guy's arm behind him and breaks his arm. In the next scene, you can see the man getting up from the ground, appearing to be struggling due to the pain. But the shape of his elbow is visible through the side of his jumpsuit, making it obvious that the dangling arm through his sleeve is fake.

Quotes:

Max: Well?
John Hatcher: One thought he was invincible... the other thought he could fly.
Max: So?
John Hatcher: They were both wrong.

Seagal delivers

Of Stevens Seagal's movies, this is clearly one of the better. It's from 1990, and that was around his prime time as a action star. ("Under Siege" came two years later). There are a couple of really cool fights in this movie where Seagal handles lots of bad guys without any effort at all. The last part of the movie, where he's invading the Jamaica-man bad guy's base is especially entertaining. In this movie, he has one of the best comments of all his films:"One thought he was immortal, and the other one thought he could fly. Both were wrong". Watch the movie to find out what I'm talking about. You won't regret it if you like easy action.
